This is Kojiro's dream VM.

"OH ME RUN TO THE REFUGES!!!!"

No, you over-scared coward, it's NOT a SuperUberMegaMek, but a
fragile craft of right below 100CP! It's an unit combining all
of Chiisai's personal tastes; flight, bicycles and swords.

I figured that, if this character's got an unbalanced VM designed
to scare people and pilot their VMs, he also need a balanced VM
for normal play with his friends once he already tested their
mecha... so there it is.

SPETIAL NOTE: On VM, Thougth Control requires an spetial VR gear
at $3,000++. Kojiro doesn't own said VR gear; he may have coded for
its use, but without it doesn't actually get any of the TC bonuses
nor penaltys. Wasted points, or really a "dreamed" design? :)

Game notes:

- Built as a small 1:1 unit 'cause on VM we're not using Roadstrikers.
  If ported outside VM, or on a VM campaign allowing them, it should
  be rebuilt as a mid- to large-sized 1/5 unit.
- It looks like a flying bicycle with two fixed wings that look like a
  Da Vinci's design and a rear propeller. The pilot rides saddle-like,
  of course. The VM avatar includes a scale-sized representation of the
  pilot, of course.
- The sword is gamewise torso-mounted and acts as such (restricted arcs
  and the like), but the VM avatar (and actual operation mode) 
  represents it as if being hand-held by the pilot when used. If re-built
  as a Striker, it should retain its 1:1 Scale, be eff'ed to zero and be
  actually hand-held by the pilot. It's 1 turn, rechargeable, for the
  fighting style best suited for this unit is "pass-'n'-slash".
- Reflex controls includes the pilot having to actually pedal to move
  it!!! So, "Drive: Bicycle" skill can be substituted for Mecha Pilot
  (analogously with "Drive: Car" for tank/autoforms and "Aircraft Pilot"
  for fighterforms)
- Yes, it CAN fly underwater (at 1/3 MA, of course) and even on space
  (enviromental protection also representing an air-sealed pilot suit).
- Stereo always playing Manowar's "Spirit Horse of the Cherokee" at 90
  decibels. At least.
